    Very well put.;p

    I work in fast-food, and every single one of my coworkers has put on weight since starting there, since we get a free meal every shift. Always around the waist and hips.

    I'll still eat the salads, but I bring in my own accompaniments.

    I worked fast food in my senior year in high school - McDonalds. I quickly gained weight. Then my freshman year in college I worked for AMC Theatres - nachos and popcorn by the tub full. Bad way to start out in the world.

    I work in fast food, Burger King actually, I started as a crew member now I'm HSC. in my first year or so working there I ate a lot of burger king. when I work 11-7 or 7-3 with no break, its really easy just to grab a sandwich. after a while I started feeling horrible, nauseous most of the time, had no energy. it took me a while to figure out it was the fat content, my body had developed an intolerance to it. since I felt so sick I wasn't eating much, and what little I was eating was burger king so over about a years time I went from 235 pounds down to 190 and I'm still loosing weight down to 180. at 235 I had 10% body fat at 190 I had 14% I don't know what it is now. I do still grab a sandwich on occasion, but I try to think small a cheeseburger, maybe a spicy, or sometimes I'll put a spicy patty on a side salad, but mostly I'll bring my own food to work, and feel a hell of a lot better doing it.

    Aw, getting sick off of something will do it. Glad you're able to have whatever you want from time to time without the adverse affects now.

    If I was Fast Food, I'd be scared.

    This is such a wonderful letter. You should send it around as a petition to all the major Fast Food companies.
    I'd sign it.
